I own nuthin but my oc Allison. Enjoy!
Allison
The streets of Times Square were full of life even at this time of night. I grinned. More victims. I pulled up my hood and walked into the streaming crowd. I pushed through, nicking watches, rings, bracelets, and a beautiful diamond necklace. I pocketed the stuff and slunk through a nearby alleyway. Making sure no one noticed me, I pushed open a door, designed to look like the brick wall of a building and went in. I navigated through pulleys and strings, when a voice stated, "I don't want what you stole tonight, Allison. Return them."
I pulled back my hood, and combed through my short black hair. "At least see what I got, Nani. Sure to change your mind."
I heard a sigh, and walked to the desk, where a gypsy woman sat. I emptied my pockets, hiding the necklace for myself. She stared at the things and swept them in a drawer. Then in a flash she threw a bag at me. I caught it easily and threw it up and down. Coins jangled. I bowed to her and said, "Pleasure doing business with you as always." And I left.
After a couple minutes of hiding from cops, I reached my home. To others it was an abandoned library, so I took over and filled it with the treasures I keep. They were unique things I've found over the years, things people threw away because they weren't shiny. I collect them and make them beautiful. I went to the roof and remove the necklace from my own neck. I examined it, the sparkling gems flashing in the night. That's when the idea hit me. I went back down and started to craft. Things that are shiny and useless, like the necklace were beloved by others. When I steal those types of things I get ideas from them. Then I make it what I had imagined. Few minutes before dawn, I set down my creation, a tiny chandelier. I yawned and headed to the roof again for some sleep. I never worked during the day, I found that the night made it easier to steal. I had just sat down when I heard a shuffle of feet from behind me. I jumped up and turned to see a fist fly at me and knock into me before I could even react. As I fell, I heard, "I caught the girl Nick. I'll be on my way soon."
Then the world went black.
I woke up to find that I was cuffed to a chair, in a white room. I closed my eyes, the white was too much. I heard the door open and someone walk in, but I gave no indication that I was even awake. Then a voice, a man, said, "Don't try to pretend you're still out. We saw you wake up on the cameras."
I opened my eyes to see a black man with an eye patch sitting across from me with a chair that came out of nowhere. He stared at me and I stared back. Then he said, "Who are you?"
I sat up straighter, hiding my fear and said, "I am the future queen of England and I demand my release, so that I may return home."
He stared at me, not convinced. "How long have you been stealing and living on the streets miss...?"
I slumped in the chair, thinking, "He's good." "My whole life. And it's Ally." I'll tell the truth, just not all of it.
He nodded and said, "I've been watching you, Ally. You are quite the illusionist."
I raised an eyebrow. I have never met this man in my life. I never looked at my victims faces either. Was he someone I stole from one too many times? He gave a small smirk. "My sister Nani seems to like you a lot miss Allison."
I narrowed my eyes to hide the surprise. Nani is this man's sister? Man, I would've never guessed that woman had a family, much less a brother. I leaned back and crossed my legs, "So, Nick. What do I owe this forced meeting to?"
He leaned forward and said, "I want to recruit you Allison."
I stared for a few minutes. He then explained that I have potential and I shouldn't be wasting it on stealing jewelry. Then he told me that it was to either join the Avengers, whoever they were or go to jail. I sold out.
He uncuffed me and led me somewhere. We passed several people and I took the liberty of stealing 5 cards, 3 pocketknives, and a small gun. Then I nicked off Nick's gun, when we entered a living room/bar with several men and a woman were milling about. They noticed us and were coming over when Nick said, "Allison, hand over the items you stole."
They stopped and stared at me. I sighed and looked at Nick. "I have no idea what you are talking bout." He held out his hand and gave me a look that said behave. I frowned, emptied my pockets, and handed everything over. He set it all on the nearby table and placed a hand on my shoulder, saying, "Everyone this is Allison, the newest member of the Avengers."
They stared for a minute, then a man in the back started laughing. I wanted to punch him when a better idea came. I looked around, everyone was distracted by him. I snuck around to him and found what I was looking for. Then I went back to my spot and he said, "This girl was living in an abandoned library and you want her to join the Avengers? Does she even know who we are?"
I grinned and pulled out a card from my jeans pocket, "Well, you are Tony Stark aka Iron Man, yes?" I said throwing the card back to him. He caught and checked the right jacket pocket and stared at me in awe. Everyone followed in suit. I looked around the room to study the people. There was a tall green skinned man, another man with an eye patch, who seemed to be stuck at the hip with a man with a black mullet, the red haired lady was standing next a modern Robin Hood (a couple no doubt), a wizard looking guy, and a teen boy. These are the Avengers? Most looked like ordinary people, people I stole from. Well, this is getting off to a great start. Not.
Well? Good? Bad? Please tell me in the comments!
